After Checo Perez's elimination in Q1, Max Verstappen didn't hold back in pointing out the importance of the RB19 always making it to Q3. Verstappen, who secured pole position for the British Grand Prix, expressed his thoughts on his teammate's performance.

"I don't know why things went wrong today, but of course, with our car, you have to get into Q3," Verstappen stated. Confident in his own abilities, Verstappen hinted that he could contend for the drivers' world championship on his own, leaving the team championship question open.

"You have to ask Helmut (Marko) or Christian (Horner). But of course, we are also fighting for the team championship," he mentioned, followed by a light-hearted laugh. "At the moment, I think I can do it alone."

At the start of the sprint race of the Austrian Grand Prix, the fight between Checo Perez and Max Verstappen took center stage, with Nico Hulkenberg benefiting the most.

With poor traction at the start, the Formula 1 championship leader gave up his place to Perez, who seized the opportunity to take the lead.

However, the Dutchman did not relent, and decided to engage in a fight with his Red Bull teammate, regaining the lead, albeit expressing his displeasure over team radio at how the Mexican defended.

"He pushed me off, what the f**k," complained Verstappen.

Perez took to the radio himself, wondering just what had gotten the Dutchman so wound up.

"What's wrong with Max?" Perez asked.
